Ben Crane came from seven shots behind before clinching his fourth PGA Tour title with a stunning playoff victory over fellow American Webb Simpson for the McGladrey Classic here Sunday. Crane narrowly missed a 22-foot birdie putt at the second extra hole, the par-three 17th, but moments later he sealed the win when Simpson lipped out with his par putt from inside four feet. The duo had finished the 72 regulation holes at 15-under-par 265, Simpson closing with a four-under 66 and Crane firing a sizzling eight-birdie 63. Simpson's runner-up finish was good enough for him to overtake British world No. 1 Luke Donald at the top of the 2011 PGA Tour money list with just one event remaining. Crane had the most to celebrate at the breezy Seaside Course on Sunday, though, as he came from seven shots behind with 11 holes remaining in the final round. Overnight leader and PGA Tour rookie Michael Thompson, who had led by three shots with nine holes to play, bogeyed the last for a 69 and had to settle for third place at 14-under. South African Louis Oosthuizen was a further stroke back after closing with a 66. Couples wins Champs Tour In San Antonio, Fred Couples ran away with the Champions Tour's AT&T Championship, shooting a bogey-free 6-under 66 Sunday for a seven-stroke victory – the largest margin on the 50-and-over tour this year. Couples opened with rounds of 65 and 62 and finished at 23-under on TPC San Antonio's Canyons Course. Mark Calcavecchia shot a 66 to finish second. Charles Schwab Cup points leader Tom Lehman and John Cook tied for third at 14-under. They also closed with 66s. It was the final full field on the Champions Tour. The top 30 in the point standings are headed to the Charles Schwab Cup on Nov. 3-6 at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco.
